91st birth anniversary of poet Habib Jalib being observed today

March 24, 2019
..

91st birthday of revolutionary poet Habib Jalib is being observed across the country on Sunday.

Habib Jalib was born on March 24, 1928, in a village near Hoshiarpur in British India and died on March 12, 1993.

He migrated to Pakistan after the partition of India and worked as a proofreader in Daily Imroze, Karachi.

He was a progressive writer and soon started to grab the audience with his enthusiastic recitation of poetry.

He wrote in plain language, adopted a simple style and addressed common people and issues.

But the conviction behind his words, the music of his voice and his emotional energy coupled with the sensitivity of the socio-political context is what stirred the audience.

His famous collections include Ser-e-Maqtal, Zikr Behte Khoon Ka, Gumbad-e-Bedar and Kulyaat-e-Habib Jalib.

کہیں گیس کا دھواں ہے
کہیں گولیوں کی بارش ہے
شب عہد کم نگاہی
تجھے کس طرح سراہیں


Kahin gas ka dhuan hae
kahin golion ki baarish
Shab-e-ehd-e-kum nigahi
tujhay kis tarah sarahein


There is smoke of teargas in the air
and the bullets are raining all around
How can I praise thee
the night of the period of shortsightedness

وہ ملا تو گلہ بھی یاد نہ تھا – عطاءالحق قاسمی کی غزل


آخری رابطہ بھی یاد نہ تھا

وہ ملا تو گلہ بھی یاد نہ تھا



رات اتری ہوئی تھی صحرا میں

اور ہمیں راستہ بھی یاد نہ تھا



ہر کوئی تھا بتوں سے بھی نالاں

اور کسی کو خدا بھی یاد نہ تھا



جو مجھے گھر سے ڈھونڈنے نکلے

ان کو میرا پتہ بھی یاد نہ تھا



وہ بھلا عرضِ حال کیا کرتے

جن کو اپنا کہا بھی یاد نہ تھا

His passion for AFKAR was to highlight the literary work of famous poets during their lifetime. This was his seminal achievement as the tradition was to pay tribute after their death. This includes FIAZ number, JOSH number, HAFIZ number, Manto number and NADEEM number is some worth mentioning.

Monthly AFKAR was published until 2004. The last issue was published posthumous as a tribute to his literary work.

خدا جب تک نہ چاہے آدمی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا – مخمور دہلوی کی غزل

غزل

خدا جب تک نہ چاہے آدمی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا

مجھے معلوم ہے میری خوشی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا



محبت جذبہ ایثار سے پروان چڑھتی ہے

خلوصِ دل نہ ہو تو دوستی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا



تعجب ہے ترے بندے ترا انکار کرتے ہیں

یہ کہتے ہیں کہ تیری بندگی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا



یہاں تو دار پر سب کلمہ توحید پڑھتے ہیں

طریقِ عشق میں کم ہمتی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا



غرض تیرے سوا ہر ایک کو مجبور پاتا ہوں

بھروسہ جس پہ کرتا ہوں اسی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا



خود اپنے حال سے الجھے ہوئے ہیں تیرے دیوانے

ہنسے جائے، زمانے کی ہنسی سے کچھ نہیں ہوتا

Tujh sang bair lagaya aisa..

Mera naam ishq..tera naam ishq
(My name is love..your name is love)
Mera naam..tera naam
(My name..your name)
Mera naam ishq ..
(My name is love)
Ye laal ishq..
(this love is red..)
Ye malal ishq..
(This love is regret..)
Ye aib ishq..
(This love is a flaw..)
Ye bair ishq..
(This love is enmity..)
Apna naam badal doon..
(Should i change my name)
Ya tera naam chhupa loon..
(Or should i hide your name)
Ya chhod ke saari aag main vairaag utha loon..
(Or should i give up the fire within me and choose reclusion instead)
Bas ek rahe mera kaam ishq..
(And only one work i shall have for myself..thats love)
Mera kaam ishq..mera kaam ishq..
(Love's my only work..love's my only work)
Mera naam ishq..tera naam ishq
(My name is love..your name is love)
Mera naam..tera naam

Ye malal ishq..
(This love is regret..)
Ye aib ishq..
(This love is a flaw..)
Ye bair ishq..
(This love is enmity..)
Ye kaali raat jakad loon..
(I shall hold on to this dark night)
Ye thanda chand pakad loon..
(And i shall grab this cold moon)
Din raat ke andheri bhed ka rukh mod ke main rakh doon..
(And i shall turn around/demolish this dark difference of day and night)
Tujh sang bair lagaya aisa..
(Such enmity i had towards you)
Raha na main phir apne jaisa
(That i ceased to be my own self)
Mera naam ishq..tera naam ishq
(My name is love..your name is love)
Mera naam..tera naam
(My name..your name)
Mera naam ishq ..
(My name is love)
Ye laal ishq..
(this love is red..)
Ye malal ishq..
